Philadelphia is a mess. Its franchise quarterback has been benched and the roster is aging at several key positions. The upcoming draft will be critical in righting the ship.

The Eagles are turning to a rookie quarterback to turn around a bad season.

The NFC East suddenly doesn’t look so bad, with the New York Giants and Washington tied for the division lead coming off road victories against teams that qualify for the conversation about the Super Bowl. The Giants, who beat Seattle on Sunday, control their fate because they swept Washington, and they could become the first team to make the playoffs after starting 1-7. Washington is also 5-7 after handing Pittsburgh its first loss Monday night.

Giants DL Leonard Williams has been named the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his dominant performance this past Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks helped lift Big Blue to a massive upset.

This NFC is a wide open race to the playoffs, so wide open that at least two recently bad teams from a recently awful division delivered the biggest victories of Week 13. 

Our fantasy football analysts reveal their kicker rankings for Week 14.

Coach Ron Rivera came prepared with a slide presentation to show his players Tuesday, a day after Washington stopped Pittsburgh’s unbeaten run and remained in the thick of the playoff pursuit in the worse-than-mediocre NFC East. At 5-7 heading into next weekend’s game against San Francisco – a contest being played in Arizona because the 49ers had to abandon their home stadium because of the coronavirus pandemic – it’s not as if Washington is a juggernaut. Three consecutive victories for Alex Smith and the rest of the group will do that sort of thing, especially when the most recent was by a 23-17 score over the Steelers, who went into Monday’s game 11-0.

The Arizona Cardinals are slated to be Hurts’ first NFL road start in Week 15.

Carson Wentz looked like a potential MVP candidate a few years ago and the Eagles paid him. Now, with his starting job in jeopardy, the Browns, Ravens and Bills have big decisions to make.

The 49ers’ fifth home loss of the season came in a building they won’t mistake as their own, even if the performance was all too familiar.

Allen threw for 375 yards and tied a career high with four touchdown passes as the Bills stayed in sole possession of first place in the AFC East with a thoroughly impressive 34-24 victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night. Buffalo (9-3) moved a step closer to winning its division for the first time since 1995 thanks to a nearly flawless performance from Allen. The Bills are one game ahead of the Miami Dolphins with four games left for both teams.

Washington’s upset win over the Steelers was loaded with highlight plays from unsuspecting players, so we ranked the best of the best.

Multiple times this season it looked like Minnesota was down and out, but due to an Arizona slump that road to the playoffs looks a little clearer now.
